Annihilation of the solar system

Chapter 207 The Disappearing Supply Pod

The atmosphere in the office of the Institute of Near-Earth Space Defense of the National Academy of Sciences was very relaxed, and everyone was still immersed in the excitement of successful interception. Wei Xu walked to the middle of the desks of Wu Fan and Liu Mengzhu with a smile:

"I wish you both a happy marriage."

Liu Mengzhu snorted angrily, and Wu Fan just smiled foolishly. At this time, the sound of trucks roaring came from downstairs. Wei Xu came to the window and shouted happily:

"Hey! Come and see! The big guy is here!"

Wu Fan and Lin Tianyu also came to the window. They saw four trailers and several military vehicles driving into the square downstairs. Soldiers wearing power armors got out of the car and quickly opened the trailer's covering.

On the trailer of each trailer were two battle mechas that exuded titanium gold luster. They stepped off the trailer amidst the roaring sound of the turbine engines.

"Oh my God! They really came up with something like this, it's great!" Wu Fan exclaimed.

Wei Xu knocked on the steel helmet hanging on the bedside, making a "dong dong" sound, and said disdainfully:

"Otherwise? Do you really think we are going to fight alien civilizations wearing these gadgets?"

Wei Xu pointed at the mechas lined up downstairs and continued:

"They are the main force, let's just protect ourselves and not hold others back."

"I feel much safer now!" Liu Mengzhu said with emotion.

Wei Xu raised his head and glanced at the two huge light strips that had turned into a "V" shape in mid-air, and his smile gradually faded:

"The arrival of the troops means that the final battle is about to begin!"

"Yes, we still don't know whether we are facing a tiger-like beast or a spider-like monster." Lin Tianyu said solemnly.

At this moment, Xia Lan hurriedly walked into the office. Wei Xu greeted him:

"Sister, how about the Space Force Combat Command Center? Isn't it very cool?"

Only then did he notice that Xia Lan had a gloomy look on her face, and she handed the information in her hand to Wei Xu.

"The situation is different from what we thought. Teacher Shen just called me from the northwest. Judging from the situation on their side, our interception operation may not have been effective. The target of the big ice block is not a human city in the first place!

"

"Ah! What is that?" Wei Xu exclaimed, and others gathered around.

"After being intercepted by the nuclear explosion, the icicle split evenly into nine small segments before hitting the ground, and hit the same place in the form of continuous pulses. It hit the desert like a drill and knocked out more than 330 pieces.

meter deep funnel-shaped crater! And strangely, a cumulonimbus cloud formed above the impact crater.

After Teacher Shen and the others arrived, they immediately detected the crater. As a result, as soon as the detector reached the bottom of the crater, sand wet by heavy rain filled the impact crater like a mudslide."

"Are Teacher Shen and the others okay?" Wei Xu asked.

"They are all fine. But according to preliminary estimates, the total amount of sediment filled in the impact crater is far greater than the proven volume of the impact crater!"

Xia Lan's words shocked everyone. Wei Xu stared and said:

"In other words, there may be a cavity below the impact crater? They designed such a precise orbit in space, bypassing the space fort and the lunar laser, and withstood the nuclear explosion of the 'Dome Armor' system. Finally, in the northwest desert

They drilled a deep well and finally buried it! What are they going to do?"

Xia Lan shook her head slightly:

"Teacher Shen didn't say anything else. She asked us to continue to monitor the movement of the broken ice belt and spore groups, and not to let go of the situation on Titan. Try to collect enough data before the war begins.

.Although Teacher Shen didn’t say it, I could tell that she was worried that after the war started, we would no longer be able to observe the situation in space.”

Everyone returned to their desks. The sun was still shining brightly outside the window. The commands of the entire team of soldiers downstairs and the sounds of mecha movements echoed throughout the building. But the relaxed and joyful atmosphere before was gone.

The small space station in low-Earth orbit has 24 combat spacecraft connected to the centipede-like docking bridge. This is the home of two combat spacecraft squadrons of the 337th Regiment of the 113th Division of the 38th Space Army. In low-Earth orbit, there are dozens more

Such small space stations are all armed with space stations used for space construction in the crisis era.

The four super-large "star ports" have been sent by booster rockets to the Earth's Lagrange point 12, 150 kilometers away. There are only a small number of personnel on duty and a large number of supplies and spare parts left in the star ports. They will become the battle center.

The spacecraft are the only ones behind in space.

Lu Yan was wearing an outfit that was very common on the ground but extremely rare on the space station. She looked like an ordinary researcher at a scientific research institution on the ground.

She was recording a video in front of the computer's camera in a squatting posture. The collar and cuffs of her clothes were fixed with pins, and behind her was a background cloth of an office scene on the ground. Her movements were very small, and judging from the video

When you go up there, it's hard to tell that you're in a weightless environment.

She is recording a "letter" sent to her father, Lu Yuanzhou, which is what she does most often between missions. Because she also has to cut out completely non-revealing content from a large number of videos, and then send it through the laser communication system

Go to the supply cabin more than a dozen astronomical units away and "send" it to my father.

In the "letter" to her father, she has watery eyes and gentle words. She is just a researcher at a scientific research institution. Her comrades all know this secret. Although they admire her, they also keep this secret for her.

's secret.

"Captain, the cargo ship carrying the new missile has arrived and needs your confirmation." The voice of a comrade came from outside the curtain.

Lu Yan turned off the video, grabbed the combat uniform next to her, and her eyes became sharp.

"I know, I'll come right away!"

After leaving Jupiter three years ago, the "Firefly" space battleship took a tortoise-shaped route and approached the Lagrangian point 14 of Saturn's orbit, which was 10 astronomical units away from the earth at that time. The battleship was moving at

The bow of the ship decelerates as it faces the sun.

Compared with the sun, which looked like peanuts when it was in the orbit of Jupiter. At this moment, in Lu Yuanzhou's eyes, the radiant fireball on the earth was like a dim neon light bulb deep in the alley, emitting a lazy orange light. Every day

Everyone is very excited, not only because the supplies can be completed, but also because after more than three years, they can receive information from home again.

"Have you found them? I mean those supply cabins!" First mate Hank's brown eyes were almost pressed against the porthole, constantly searching the empty space. Although Lu Yuanzhou did not speak, it was already revealed from his eyes

An expectant look.

"Report! Still no shortwave signal received from the supply cabin." Communications Officer Laura said.

"This is wrong! We should be able to receive the shortwave guidance signal from the supply cabin at a distance of 40,000 kilometers. Where have these little brats gone?" Hank complained, but his eyes still did not leave the porthole.

"According to star charts and inertial navigation, our position must have reached the Lagrange point 14 of Saturn's orbit. Last time we were at point 14 of Jupiter, we received the shortwave guidance signal from the supply module farther away.

"Navigator Younis said.

Younis and Laura's reports caught Lu Yuanzhou's attention, and the battleship also completed its deceleration. He frowned slightly and looked towards the deep space.
